Storm Season:
Prepare Your Iowa Home
While we haven’t seen many severe storms yet, we have experienced some intense rain. As storms start to become more of a thing, it is crucial to make sure your home is not only free of damage but also storm ready. If you have not taken a look at the exterior part of your home or took some time to maintain the outside, it is crucial you get outside ASAP to evaluate the exterior part of your home. We have created a storm season checklist to go over to make sure your home is ready for the summer storms Iowa faces.
We experienced some pretty eventful hail storms last summer. Make sure the exterior part of your home is damage free from past storms.

Storm Season Checklist
Have your roof inspected by a professional to make sure that you don’t have torn, damaged, or missing shingles.
Shingle granule loss can appear in the gutters after a wind storm, indicating roof wear and/ or damage.
Trim trees and branches at least 3 feet away from the roof surface to avoid damage to your shingles and potentially to the structure of your roof.
Blown off shingles can expose your Iowa home to structural damage, mold, and mildew.
Make sure your gutters are cleared of all leaves, branches, and debris. If you are looking for a maintenance-free solution, consider getting LeafGuard® Gutters installed on your home.
Make sure to clear out any sticks or other debris blocking your gutters and allow water to run freely and safely away from your Iowa home.
Review your home and business owner’s insurance policies to make sure that your coverages are in tiptop shape before the storm.
It is important to have a storm emergency kit on hand to grab when a severe storm hits.
Prepare your storm shelter and review your family’s emergency plans now.
